Transport Assessments/Statements
A Transport Assessment (TA) or its less detailed equivalent Transport Statement (TS) is a report detailing all the transport, traffic, highway and parking related implications associated with a development proposal. A TA or a TS, is prepared in support of a planning application for a development. Before a TA or TS can be prepared, the scope and scale of the report needs to be agreed with the Local Highway and Planning Authorities.
Both a TA and TS examine the effects of a development proposal on all modes of transport, not just the impacts associated with additional vehicle traffic. Detailed assessments are normally required based on the number of predicted trips that will be generated by the development for each of the main modes of transport (walking, cycling, public transport and car), and how these additional trips will be accommodated on the local transport network.
In addition to the above, a Transport Assessment also identifies mitigation measures that may be required in order to offset any potential negative impacts associated with the development.
Such measures may include localised highway improvements, new pedestrian and cycle links, new bus infrastructure, etc.
